Yield: 3 to 4 Pieces

Prep. Time: 10 Mins. + Standing

Cooking Time: 16 to 18 Mins.

Ingredients:

[ Standard Measure : 1 cup = 250 ml ]

• Bread Slices – 3 to 4
• Besan – ¾ cup
• Rawa – 1 tbsp.
• Onion (finely chopped) – 1 small
• Tomato (finely chopped) – 1 small
• Green Chilly (finely chopped) – 1 to 2
• Ajwain – ¼ tsp. (optional)
• Red Chilly Powder – ¼ tsp.
• Turmeric Powder – ¼ tsp.
• Hing – a pinch
• Oil – as needed
• Salt – ½ tsp.

Step 1:     Take all the ingredients except the oil in a bowl and add about 1/3 cup (80 ml) water. Mix and make a batter (it should have no lumps, like a dosa batter). Keep aside for 15 minutes.

Step 2:     Heat a frying pan and drizzle some oil (½ tsp.) on the pan.

Step 3:     Dip the slices of bread into the batter and coat them well. Then place them on the frying pan, two at a time and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes on low heat. Drizzle some oil on the top (½ tsp.) before turning over and then cook further for another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve hot.

Note:

• The cooking has to be done on low heat as the besan has to cook well.
